== TV Series ==
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: In popular culture, you're more likely to hear Dr. Banner referred to as "David" than "Bruce".
** Not true. There are scores of people who don't even know his name is David. I think this was foxed by Marvel stating Bruce is his middle name.
*** His name isn't David. They changed it for the live action series because Kenneth Johnson (the producer) did not exactly care for alliterative names. His full name is Robert Bruce Banner; in the early issues, Stan Lee couldn't remember whether he named him Bob or Bruce, and he's refered to as both. They retconned(or clarified) it so that first name was Robert and his middle name was Bruce, though Bruce is what he is most commonly refered to in the comics.
**** One has to wonder if the producer explained his distaste for alliterative names to [[Bill Bixby]].
** Aside from his name, the fact remains that for quite a while, up until the current slate of Marvel movies started up, The Hulk was one of the only Marvel characters that a lot of people had heard of. Kids had comics and cartoons, but many adults didn't know the first thing about the X-Men, Daredevil, Thor, etc. But they knew The Hulk, because of this show.
* [[Anvilicious]]: Quite a few episodes had [[An Aesop]] that was delivered with the force of a Hulk punch.
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: 30+ years after the original series ended, Marvel (Now owned by Disney) and ABC are thinking of doing another live-action Hulk show. And the [[Guillermo del Toro|guy]] who did [[Pan's Labyrinth]] is going to work on it, too!
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The series has been described as most frightening TV series ever for young children, with its focus on radical change into a creature making animal-like sounds.
 
== Film ==
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: At the news that Edward Norton would be playing the Hulk. Tim Roth as Blonsky went down pretty well too.
** "Hulk Smash!"
